Some of my friends in social media commented that I’m always present on Facebook. Well, I won’t be hanging out at popular social media, like Facebook and Twitter if I am not getting good benefits from doing so.

Don’t you know that Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites are good income earners?

Facebook and Twitter are my foremost social media sites. Other effective social media sites are Stumbleupon, Digg, Google+, Reddit, LinkedIn and Pinterest that provides additional support to my online writing jobs.

So, how do I earn money from Facebook and Twitter? I know there are smarter and more technical ways of monetizing Facebook, Twitter and other social media.

These are just my simple way of gaining income from Facebook and social media.

Managing Facebook and Twitter accounts

I first realized the income potential of Facebook when I got a client who requested me to manage her account. She has a fitness gym business and she tasked me to post on all her friends’ wall promotions about her business. I also posted and scheduled tweets to promote a website or blog post.

Creating and Managing Group Facebook Group or Business Page

I have a friend whose business is creating fan pages for clients all over the world. How he generates thousands of fans for a site is his trade secret but so far, he had effectively garnered clients for this service.

Generating Traffic for Websites and Blog Posts

I am writing web contents for clients, building and managing their blogs. The work doesn’t stop there. Websites and blogs become really functional when people are visiting and interacting with the site.

So, to generate traffic (or visits) for websites and blog posts, I post the links on my Facebook wall so that my friends will click on the link. Twitter could deliver hundreds of visits if your message is catchy and creative.

A click on the link registers one visit (or traffic) count for the post. I am thankful for my Facebook friends and Twitter followers for really taking time to click on the links that I share.

My dear Facebook friends and Twitter followers, each time you see a link posted on my wall, please don’t hesitate clicking on it. It means a lot to online workers like me.
